While the Training, Assessment and Quality Assurance (TAQA) units and the assessor/verifier (A/V) units are valued as qualifications for centre staff, they are not currently a requirement for these qualifications.

However, staff should hold, or be working towards, teaching/training qualifications and have sufficient experience and/or qualifications for competent delivery and assessment of the appropriate units.

Centre staff may undertake more than one role, e.g. tutor and assessor or internal verifier, but must never internally verify their own assessments.
